[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is weird when parents brag about their kids, but then don’t follow through with the bad stuff. My nephew got promoted to assistant manager at a chain restaurant and they were so proud (he didn’t go to college). He was fired within a few months. His job history is a series of short term retail jobs. When he got a girlfriend, they were so proud but skated around the fact that they broke up. They are also proud that he is well-adjusted, but in reality, he smokes weed and drinks every day. [/quote] It's not remotely weird when parents share good news about their kids widely but not their struggles. [/quote] Except that the “good news” the parent is sharing isn’t even remarkable. Becoming an assistant manager at a chain restaurant or shacking up with a girlfriend (he moved out of mom’s, got a place with his GF!) isn’t exactly impressive. Then he can’t even keep those up.[/quote]
